Thank you for your work.

Is this for ICS only? or is it for 2.3.3 as well?

Does anyone know if Navigation takes into account the traffic layer, when suggesting routes?
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
Works also with 2.3.3, in fact I use 2.3.4.
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
Thank you for the quick response.

I understand that it is more stable than the ownhere version? and that navigation works without having to start maps first? can you confirm?

Do you also happen to know about the traffic layer?
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
On gingerbread I think both versions work just fine. On ICS ownhere's seems to crash, but I haven't tried it myself. Navigation work straight from the icon. No idea about the traffic layer.
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
Thanks again (I also pressed the THANK U button :) )

The fact that navigation works straight from the icon, is a great advantage.

Latest version is working fine. But i dont get any VOICE guided navigation, rather just on screen navigation. Is this expected ?
[Android Apps and Games] ArunOnline:
Voice navigation is definitely working for me
[Android Apps and Games] rak007:
@Arun

I opened navigation directly and it detected my location as somewhere in Pune correctly. I just put destination as Mumbai and it showed me the route. Then at top i get a FOLLOW THE ROUTE bar which list downs break by break journey to destination.

Am i missing something ?
[Android Apps and Games] rak007:
Currently i am sitting in office and no GPS signal is available here and google is using AGPS to lock my location. Is this is reason why no voice navigation is there since i am not moving and am stationary at this place ?
[Android Apps and Games] ArunOnline:
Maybe, try getting a GPS lock outside and see if it shows the voice navigation then.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanChung:
After installing this 5.3.1, does your Market tell you that Maps can be updated still?

[Android Apps and Games] poppienutshell:

[Android Apps and Games] thanhvx:
Installed the signed one, it works on lp p970.
[Android Apps and Games] aben2amu:
Is your phone rooted?

You can try deleting maps from /data/app and flash the script to see if it installs the app on /system/app, if it fails then rename the ownhere maps to Maps.apk and put into /system/app with root explorer, es file explorer, etc. Of course, you have to be rooted for that. If you get to do that, then reboot. Maps should be there in your app drawer along with Navigation and Latitude.

You can try installing changepen. It will be installed along side with original Google maps. Cause it has a different signature. Just make sure which is which. Because they will appear with same name and icon.

P.s. Use this method to root. It won't change custom binary counter and won't show yellow triangle. The best part is that it is completely harmless.

Make sure using proper version of cwm.

Try the Changepn version first.

Rooting is great when you know what it does, but might not be a good idea if you are not sure of what kind of permissions it'll unlock.

[Android Apps and Games] shadowchaos:
What's the critical bug fixed in 6.5.1?

Update about map blurred someone and me talked before:

I found a not perfect solution,it's easy to do.

1.Calibrate gps with wifi network,not mobile network at first install!

2.Download map cache where the regions you want.

3.Disable maps all network access using droidwall.

4.Keep these files : (/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/cache)

cache_r.1

cache_r.m

cache_vts_GMM.24

cache_vts_GMM.m

cache_vts_labl_GMM.1

cache_vts_labl_GMM.m

(maybe different from regions,you can check the files' time after enable maps through mobile network)

Now you can calibrate gps with mobile networklocation or direction or navigation,

but it will blur some blocks after using mobile network or search directions.

You can restore step4 files if needed(delete new created files too) ,or perform a whole update map data several months.

These steps only promise you the maps you cache never get blurred when you disable its all network access.(before maps automatical blurred even you disable its network access)

In this case,it helps the ones only using direction manually,not searching it on network.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeljko1234:
Thank you for blur solution but I gave up of updating Google maps. Pre-cache maps in 5.11 works perfect without any blurring, never. Or at least I didn't noticed after few weeks/months of using it.

I suspect that this is not bug in new version ;)

No biggie, there's another method. I've restored the maps app using titanium backup and followed the second method. while trying to install maps from the market, it says that i've already got it installed (i don't and i can't install it!). what have i done wrong?

In the notification appers exclamation mark, you need to open it and to confirm that it can log in to the account.

very simple and it work.
[Android Apps and Games] zard:
Yes, it does. The workaround is to use wifi to pre cache/download the maps with wifi. If you use the navigation later without the wifi, I'm not sure if the routing and rerouting will need data or not.
[Android Apps and Games] hirak99:
Flash a rooted kernel, and use titanium backup to uninstall the system app. If you're afraid take a backup before uninstalling. It's much cleaner that way.

Or keep using 6... There's not any useful change introduced by google between 6 and 6.5 anyway.
